Application Fundamentals

The OpenPro Standard Solution contains a number of fundamental features designed to simplify

your use of the software. In this section, we will describe these fundamentals in an effort to

familiarize you with their use. First, look at a sample Inventory Item screen, as shown below.We will use this Item Search screen to illustrate several of the application fundamentals found

throughout the applicationacross multiple screens and modules.

Search Screen

All of the search screens have various options for searching records as well as sorting the data

that is displayed. Additionally, if you click on the Search button it will display all the records

in the database. OpenPro ERP software has very powerful options with every search screen,

while remaining easy to use.

In this example we can search items by the following categories: item #, name or description, mfgnumber, weight and UPC.

You can also search by Item Category. If you have multiple warehouse locations you can narrow

your search down by that single location. Each field can be searched using a % for a wild card.

Example search %FG% to find all items that have FG in the item name. With our advancedSQL database searches are fast and easy.

Once you received the result listing you can sort the listing by clicking on the top header of each

column that is underlined. If you have a large result, you can refine your search by using the

EDIT/FIND option on your browser. You can print the information by clicking on the Printer

Icon from the menu bar or doing a mouse right click and choose the print option. If at any time

you want to change your search you can click on New Search orItem Find on the left menu bar.

On the right side of the listing are actions, where you are able to focus on specific details about a

particular item.
